Contrast-induced Nephropathy
Conditions
Brief summary
The investigators planned to research the effect of vitamin D supplementation on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography.
Detailed description
Vitamin D is primarily generated in the skin, in response to direct absorption of ultraviolet B radiation. Vitamin D can also be obtained through fortified foods and oral supplements. Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is a generally reversible form of acute kidney injury that occurs mostly within 2-3 days of exposure to contrast medium (CM). The estimated incidence of CIN ranges from 2%-50%, and coronary angiography (CAG) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or both, are associated with CIN in about half of cases. Recently low vitamin D status has been shown to be associated with increased risk of CIN. However, its effects on CIN patients remain unclear. The investigators planned to determine the efficacy of vitamin D on the incidence of contrast-induced nephropathy in patients undergoing coronary angiography. This study may shed light as to whether oral vitamin D supplementation can be an adjunct therapy in CIN patients.
Interventions
2000 IU vitamin D3 tablets were taken daily for 6 days
2000 IU placebo tablets were taken daily for 6 days

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| the prevalence of contrast-induced nephropathy | 48-72h after treatment | The primary efficacy variable was the prevalence of CIN between the vitamin D group and the control group. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| a change in serum creatinine level | at 1, 2, 3 days after percutaneous coronary intervention | The change in serum creatinine level was measured at 1, 2, 3 days after the procedure. |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| differences in the incidences of treatment-emergent adverse events | 6 days after treatment | Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs): hypercalcemia, renal insufficiency, constipation |
